And what it's all about
Performance, reliability & qualityDCP is the highest-quality digital exhibition format available. It is more stable and reliable than any other codec such as ProRes and h.264. DCP isn’t susceptible to mold, scratching, dust, or other problems that plague everything from 35mm prints to Blu-Ray discs.
Global standardsWe comply with DCI specifications & SMPTE standards. DCI's primary purpose is to establish and document voluntary specifications for an open architecture for digital cinema that ensures high level of technical aspects. SMPTE DCP packaging allows for an expanded set of features, including higher frame rates, immersive sound, 3D subtitle support and embedded metadata that makes it easier for the theater operator to understand the technical aspects of the DCP. The SMPTE DCP provides a great foundation for further innovation, automation, cost saving and presentation quality.
Security & encryptionEncrypted DCP protects your film and its content from piracy and unauthorized use. If you need more info on how security on DCPs works please contact us. We are always happy to geek-talk!

AccessibilityAccessibility to the cinema is not an ability, but a capability. DCP supports specialized sound tracks and visual aids, enabling a wider audience to enjoy the cinema experience. Specifically, sign language video, hearing impaired audio, captions for the deaf and hard of hearing and narrative for visual impaired people.
International versioning and localizationComplicated logistics, huge files, different versions of the film, new subtitles, soundtracks 5.1 or 7.1, dubbed versions, new festival credits, credits corrections, accessibility tracks. All this is no longer a mesh thanx to DCP's metadata, versioning support and interoperability.
Timed textSubtitles need no longer to be burnt in. DCP supports timed text: open and closed subtitles, open or closed captions. It is just another essence like picture and audio that can be edited easily. It is always recommended to use styling guidelines. If unsure, check our FAQ.
ReelsBack in the film days each film was separated in reels. Nowadays the same concept for various practical reasons remains active by the name segment.
